Self-reflection is a normal human activity: we think about past experiences and the way they made us feel in order to understand ourselves better. Writing about memories in the form of anecdotes, personal accounts, and reflections is a way of expressing and sharing what we've learned. In this way, both the documentation of events and thoughtful reflections on those events are valuable not only to the writer but to readers, too.

For this module's final project, you'll have a chance to get creative. You'll create a visual representation of an event or situation in Anne Frank's life, based on details in her diary. For an example of one way to do this, first listen to this audio recording from an interview with Robert Holczer, a Holocaust survivor whose story you heard earlier in this module.

Now study how graphic artist and writer Arwen Donahue depicted this important event in Holczer's life.

Slide: 1 / 4

Look back through the part of The Diary of a Young Girl that you have read already, and find an incident that you think is particularly meaningful. Create a "diary comic" illustrating the event or situation you chose. (Note that you don't have to draw Anne herself to represent the event as a comic—you can use objects to tell the story.) Refer to the rubric below to see how your work on this project will be graded.
